Oil Can Boyd Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 yes! Anton Fier on drums, Tony Maimone on bass, and Chris Stamey on guitar. That was a great show. I remember not recognizing Mould when he walked out with a Stratocaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 yes! Anton Fier on drums, Tony Maimone on bass, and Chris Stamey on guitar. What year was that? Pretty sure I was there too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 This was a huge year for me in LIVE music, as I saw some pretty life-changing shows.Violent Femmes/The Pogues/Mojo Nixon at Poplar Creek in Hoffman Estates (Chicago), IL. My first time ever hearing The Pogues.Fishbone at Jesse Hall in Columbia, MO.The Replacements at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. but the most life-changing show for me was:fIREHOSE/Uncle Tupelo at The Blue Note in Columbia, MO. My first time ever hearing UT, a few months before No Depression was released. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Maybe it's cause I was only 7 this year, so my formative years music wasn't kicking into gear yet, and the stuff I look back at fondly came before this, but this is a year of things waiting to happen in my eyes (as well as dying off), more than things happening. The coolest record of 1989 has to be Pixies Doolittle. Honorable mention to Soundgarden Louder Than Love In other news Jawbreaker and Fugazi were getting going. Mudhoney put out their debut (with better things to come). REM was regrouping as was Bruce Springsteen. Sonic Youth was just about to get amazing with Goo, but not yet. Public Enemy was working of Fear of a Black Planet. Psychedelic Furs, Replacements, The Smiths were all running out of steam. Kind of a crossroads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know nothing about Jawbreaker, and I would put New York as the coolest record. Certainly one of Lou's very best records of all time, and who is cooler than Lou? PE was crushing it then. I think they're the best of the whole genre, but that's just me. SG's Louder Than Love is underrated, but really a glimpse of what's to come. Badmotorfinger blew my head off when I first heard it.

lost highway Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I enjoyed everything about this post. I know nothing about Jawbreaker, They cornered the market on literate, poetic punk rock. Musically they started out as pretty straight forward punk, and became more expansive over the years. They were one of the crew of bands that got accused of inventing emo and didn't really know what to do with the term. It's rough around the edges in a way that might need teenage ears to be initiated, but you never know, I've met 40-something converts. https://youtu.be/2em3Lm-ssDs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I guess I'm with you cause my favorite album of theirs isn't an album "Superfuzz Bigmuff plus" is largely built of those singles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, debating SY records is fun cause it's such an abstract critical game. To my ears their best stuff always bridges the gap between chaos/abstraction and pop precision. This kept me very satisfied with their output the last 5-10 years they existed. Goo is so much tighter and more direct, but still like nothing no one else could even try and make. It's like Daydream Nation stripped for export. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
